Amber Jewellery

Amber was produced millions of years ago by trees as a defence mechanism against diseases. Through the passage of time, the beauty of amber is mentioned in the works of Aristotle, Plato, Theophrastus, Tacitus, and Strabo.

Amber has its own special place in history, being associated with preservation and eternal youth, the sacred symbol of the Sun, the petrified tears of God, and as protective talisman. In the Chinese culture, amber was thought to be associated with fiery dragon's blood, the Greek priestesses wore amber beads as a confirmation of the energies stored in the beautiful beads and The Celtic Sun God, Ambres, derives his name from the fossilised resin.

Worn as a talisman of good luck, amber is symbolically associated with good luck, protection against the evil eye and it also represents the bond of eternal love. Although amber sculptures exists, amber's popularity is given by beautifully crafted jewellery in a variety of colours and designs.

The amber jewellery is very versatile due to the variants in shades of colour, transparencies and inclusions which can sometimes be found in the ancient amber. Most known amber colours are yellow, orange, red, brown, green, blue and black. The transparencies of amber vary from clear to semitransparent to opaque.

In crystal lore, it is believed that amber absorbs negative energies and stimulates the body to heal itself. It is a good antidepressant , stimulates the intellect, encourages peacefulness and alleviates stress. It is used as a chakra cleaner and gives the body a boost of vitality.

All the amber jewellery offered below is set in sterling silver hallmarked 925 and it is of Baltic origin unless stated otherwise. The jewellery is presented in attractive gift boxes as shown in the photographs enclosed with each product description.
